Copyblogger – copywriting tips for online marketing success. Enough said.
Web Services
Anatta Design – Unless you’re putting up your own blog, take my advice use Anatta Design. I’ve worked with a lot of web companies on a lot of projects and Anatta has been across the board the most spectacular. Inexpensive, professional, timely, and all around excellent. I like them so much, their CEO Nirav and I have become close friends. Especially if you’re building a community site using Ning, Wordpress MU or something similar – these are your guys. Just do me a favor, compare their prices with other companies and send me 10% of the thousands you save.
Webisodes
Fifth Column – now this is for slightly bigger players with real advertising budgets. If you want to work with a director of quality that knows how to get to people tuned in, Fifth Column is the only way to go. Ask for Cordy and tell ‘em Devon sent you.

Investment – cash for your business now
